Small Bulbs That Work Like 50 Watt Ones


The main feature that makes LED bulbs so very popular is that they are equivalent to a wattage much higher than their actual wattage. A classic example of this is the Philips GU10 LED 7W bulb. This Philips bulb falls under the dimmable line of products. The 7 Watts bulb is equivalent to one of 50 Watts. Plus, it comes in many colour output options such as warm white, cool white or very warm white light and with a beam spread over anywhere between 25 and 40 degrees. The dimmable quality of the Philips GU10 LED 7W bulb makes it possible to reduce the brightness of the bulb to one tenth of its full capacity which translates to energy saving up to 85%.

There are other LED GU10 50W bulbs which refers to other smaller bulbs that are equivalent to 50 Watts. These include the 5.5 Watt Aurora non-dimmable bulb that gives off a cool white coloured beam and is the perfect replacement for a halogen; the Kosnic 5 Watt bulb that gives off a warm white coloured beam and is equivalent to 50 Watts while being dimmable.

The advantage of these LED GU10 50W bulbs is that they provide bright lighting but cost only a fraction of the amount that such a light would normally cost. This translates to greater savings without compromise on the brightness of the lighting.

G9: Halogen Like Brightness With Great Savings


Bright lighting has very often been synonymous with halogen lights. Any bright lighting requirement was often fulfilled with halogen bulbs. But this brightness comes at the high price of high energy consumption expenses. Additionally, halogen lights do not sit very well with environmental activists. The search for a more affordable and eco-friendly alternative brought G9 bulbs to the forefront. A G9 bulb is the latest replacement option for halogens and that too at a fraction of its cost.

Kosnic, one of the world’s leading electric fixture producers, manufactures G9 bulbs of 4 Watts. The exceptional feature of these bulbs is that in spite of being 4 Watts, their brightness is equivalent to a halogen of 40 Watts. An added advantage is that their small size makes them ideal to provide bright light in small spaces, that too in a colour of the buyer’s choice. Kosnic offers daylight and warm light options. The best part is of course the saving on electricity costs. A G9 bulb can save up to 90% of electricity cost, and that too without any compromise on the quality or brightness of the light.

The large number of features makes this 63 mm long lighting fixture a power packed option that saves cost and gives the eco-friendly users a reason to smile without paying even a small price on brightness.

Energy efficient lighting options for the hospitality industry


The hospitality industry is one of the highest users of electricity and electrical appliances. A simple hotel will have more than a hundred rooms and bathrooms, restaurants, pubs, recreational areas and common areas such as lobbies and hallways. Most of these areas are lit all the time, whether night or day and are equipped with a number of light fixtures for that perfect ambiance. Inevitably, hotels have high power consumption and energy costs which result in the demand for a more viable option. GU10 LED bulbs and MR16 LED bulbs provide that very option.

Both these products have similar features. They have low output versions which work well for focus lighting and are available in cool and warm white light and even colours such as red, pink, green, blue and yellow among others. These are apt for hallways and result in great savings with a bulb of 3 Watts providing the same lighting as that of a bulb of 25 Watts. High output versions make for perfect room lighting and are popular for larger areas such as hotel lobbies. These bulbs also come in a dimmable version which is perfect for areas that require lighting twenty four hours a day. These lights can be dimmed to a fraction of the full brightness which helps reduce costs even more.

The GU10 LED bulbs and MR16 LED bulbs are in great demand by players in the hospitality industry as a cost reducer and creator of social awareness.
